I am impressed by Soto’s recall of canonical trivia

That just made me realize that they left Arcee out of the original line of toys, and hence no tech spec quote for her in the earlier Autobot poll. However, she was given one in the Marvel Transformers Universe comics.

It's not an example of secretly progressive comics from the past, no.

I spent hours wondering whether Galvatron knew he was once Megatron.

request to change the ilx code so that whenever system automatically bumps a thread it posts "Desolation follows in my trail" instead of "Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow."

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Whew! And that's that. Thanks everybody for voting.
The weirdest realization from sifting through all these tech specs (sourced from Nordic TransFans Association, lol) is that I have a lot of problems differentiating in my memory between which toys I owned and which ones I just really, really wanted. You know, staring at for hours in Toys R Us newspaper inserts etc. I mean, I know I had Optimus Prime, but did I have Jetfire? Metroplex? I had Galvatron, but can't remember whether I had Skywarp or Thundercracker. Never had corny-ass Starscream though.

lol think I had Starscream. And a tiny little dune buggy one I was quite attached to. Must have had others but they all blur into one.

wait til they get a load of the current comics, which are full of robots changing their assumed gender and having gay relationships
